The question of "years in the craft" as a parameter of "quality in the craft" is something that is being used by HR and recruitment agencies at a lot and I despise it.

The years don't convey the knowledge and craftsmanship you have in your field, it's really the output of your work that does that.

I understand it's hard to quantify for HR and Management how to deal with this and they use the Junior and Senior to convey the craftsmanship levels which is not wrong per say. It's about how that craftsmanship is established that is the core of the issue.
